                        IEEE/IFIP IM 2017



              *** Special Track on Autonomic Management ***



   IFIP/IEEE International Symposium on Integrated Network Management

                  Lisbon, Portugal, 8-12 May 2017

-------------------------------------------------------------------------



Programmable  and  software  networks  require  more than ever management

systems  with  smart,  adaptive  and effective decisions, recommendations

and   actuations.  Management   systems   should   incorporate  autonomic

management principles to be able to sense their environment, perceive the

changes  and  react  quickly  to changing conditions in order to optimize

operation  and  performance,  diagnose  faults, and protect from threats.

Papers for this special session should address  the diverse challenges in

the   development   and  deployment  of  autonomic  management  solutions

including, but not limited to:



- Self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing and self-protection

  in programmable and software-defined networks

- Self-optimization for dynamic controllers and virtual network functions

  placement

- Policy-based management,  including  imperative,  declarative (intent),

  and other paradigms

- Learning   and   reasoning   techniques   for   programmable   networks

- Data analytics  and  machine learning for autonomic management

- Autonomic  based   service   lifecycle   management  and  orchestration

- Autonomic   resource   allocation   and  configuration  in  virtualized

  infrastructures

- Adaptive scheduling in cloud computing environments



This special track is supported by the IEEE ComSoc Technical Subcommittee

on  Autonomic  Communications  (TCAC). More information about TCAC can be

found at http://ac.committees.comsoc.org/
